I use Garnier SkinActive Cleansing Micellar Water every morning, so I was excited to try Garnier Organics Cornflower Micellar Water. This trial came at the perfect time for me; I had just run out of my usual micellar water and had tried a different brand that I had been gifted. Unfortunately, my face didn't react well and it resulted in the dreaded breakout. So I was hopeful that Garnier's Cornflower micellar water would not contribute to the problem, and maybe even help combat the problem... and it did! Within a couple days of daily use, my pimples had reduced and no new pimples had appeared.
I love micellar water because it's so convenient to use without compromising effectiveness. This product is no exception. Pour a small amount onto a cotton pad, guide the pad over your face and you're done within 30 seconds.
A little water goes a long way, this 400ml bottle will probably last me a few months even with daily use. So I think it's very cost effective.
The water went smoothly across the face, and absorbed fairly quickly, zero residue was left. Within a couple of minutes my skin felt clean and smooth, ready for my other skincare products.
On first impression, a notable feature of this product is the fragrance. Whether this is a positive or a negative feature comes down to personal preference. It's not a bad smell but I found it overwhelming at first. I usually prefer unscented products, particularly for my face. But after a few uses I became used to it, so the fragrance won't prevent me from using this product.
It's worth pointing out that I usually don't wear makeup, so I wasn't able to test it's ability to remove makeup.
Overall, it's a great product. I definitely recommend it and I will buy a replacement once I run out.
I was lucky to get to trial this micellar water, I use micellar everyday so know what I like and don't like!
The packaging of this micellar is different to what we're used to from Garnier, presumably to differentiate the "organics" brand. But in terms of effectiveness, there is no difference. Both have a pop top cap and are easy to use.
It has a light floral scent which I like and my skin was not irritated by it at all, it also didn't sting my eyes which some brands have done.
Overall this is a really nice micellar, it removes my foundation and eye makeup effectively and leaves my skin feeling fresh. It's a product I would use again.
Tips: I always use micellar after cleansing to remove any residue makeup!
